    I am so glad I watched the right hand segment. There are so many incorrect bow holds out there! Thank you, Julia! I learned so much about how vital the memory is with movement!

    Good information! Thanks for sharing it. Professional weight lifters/arm-wrestlers sometimes fill a bucket with rice, dunk the hand/forearm in, and twirl and twist everything around in different ways. Great resistance training!

    Really appreciating these videos. My forearms have issues (RSI related) and while I have been doing exercises to recover, nobody has ever shown me these violin targeted exercises. Were I in the USA, I would definitely visit!

    Very interesting and helpful, it is so rare to have this insight. Thank you so much! I'd like very much to see some rehab training exercise for finger indipendente. Specificcally I can't really extend (get it straight) third finger without extending pinky (keeping it curly). I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but surely when it occurs it stops improvements. Thank you very much for you great channel!

    Do you mean, you cannot straighten your ring finger while keeping the pinky finger curled?

    A most interesting (and horrifying) problem! The scientific evidence suggests that one should not practice too long for a stretch, and wear a good pair of earplugs, or at least stuff some cotton-wool into your ears. I actually find it painful to play without. While i am always careful about this, i have hyperacusis for no apparent reason and constantly worry about going deaf.

    Подскажите, пожалуйста, что сделать при болях в указательном пальце правой руки? Мой друг либо сильно давил на смычок, либо пиццикато неправильно играл. Теперь ему больно держать смычок и ни один из врачей не может понять что делать.

    THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. We all have made extension exercises along our violinistic journey. Do they work to make us reach a greater distance on the fingerboard or are they just for relaxation?

    Thanks! Does this info apply equally for the left hand also? It is hard to relax the left hand thumb when the muscles are so weak.

    Поможет ли экспандер в таких случаях укрепить пальцы? Или навредит?
